Artist Bio:

Lisa Hersey has been a bookbinder working in the Valley for over ten years. She specializes in creating boxes and enjoys working closely with clients. She was immediately hooked on bookbinding after taking her first class in 2009 at Montserrat College of Art where she received her degree and an award in her concentration. She has worked closely with all the well known binders in the Valley, picking up different tips and tricks along the way to use in her own work and teaching. What she loves most about bookbinding is the interaction between viewer and object.

Hosting both group and individual classes, Lisa hopes to spread the love of bookbinding to both new comers and those with experience. What she loves most about teaching is watching students come up with new ideas and figuring out how book arts can benefit their personal art practice or just be added into their list of hobbies.
